Casting company looking for paid extras for “Hocus Pocus 2” movie shooting in area

Kendall Cooper Casting is now accepting submissions for extras to work on the upcoming feature-length motion picture project “Hocus Pocus 2”. Filming will be in Providence, RI and surrounding areas October through December 2021.

Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy will reprise their roles as the delightfully wicked Sanderson Sisters in the live-action comedy, the spooky sequel to Disney’s 1993 Halloween cult classic “Hocus Pocus.” The film will premiere exclusively on Disney+ in 2022.

Production is seeking people local to the Providence, RI area to play various extra roles in the film; children and adults of all ethnicities, ages, genders, and sizes are encouraged to apply. They are specifically seeking people with dance experience, men with shoulder length hair or longer, and young adults ages 18-22 years old.

Mandatory local COVID testing will be required before any in-person work. Testing will be provided by production. Production requires all extras to have Zone A COVID clearance. This production has adopted a mandatory vaccine requirement for Zone A and non-union roles. As a result, you will need to provide verification that you are fully vaccinated for COVID-19 in order to be assigned to this production, absent an approved accommodation. For all children working on set, guardians will also need to provide verification of vaccination. Masks will be required at all times, except when appearing on camera.

The company is seeking SAG and Non-Union talent. All extra work, testing and fittings are paid. No travel or housing provided. Filming will generally take place Monday through Friday and is often a 12+ hour commitment for each day of work.

Be prepared to include three current photos of yourself which clearly show your current hair length and style, current facial hair (if applicable) and a current full body photo. Complete a separate submission for each individual interested in applying. A member of the Kendall Cooper Casting team will contact you directly if you are selected for a role.. Casting will be ongoing throughout the filming schedule.
